Are you tired of serving tough, chewy meat to your family and friends? The good news is that tenderising meat is easier than you think, and it doesn't have to involve hours of slow cooking or expensive store-bought tenderisers.
One of the simplest and most effective ways to tenderise meat is to use pineapple juice. The acidity in the pineapple helps break down the tough proteins in the meat, making it tender and easy to chew.
Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1kg T-bone steak, thinly sliced
- 200g piece of fresh pineapple
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic ginger paste (optional)
Instructions:
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the steak and rub well to coat.
- Add the garlic ginger paste and continue to rub it all over the steak.
- Hold a pineapple chunk in your hands and squeeze the juice over the steak, rubbing it all over to ensure the ingredients marry well.
- Let the meat stay in the marinade for only about 10-15 minutes, then it's ready to use in your recipe.
